This pic is the latest one I got for the legal outdoor op this year, This was taken probably in late march or april some time, As of 6 days ago, I transplanted 6 into these 100 gal smart pots, 2 are on plastic pallets, and 4 on ground, The spacing is tighter than Id prefer but the surrounding trees are all 100+ years old and at least 80-100 ft if I had to guess. So my prime sun location is pretty tight also need room for the yard in the background of the picture you see. I also have 2x3 welded wire inner cages in place.
Im running 4 gorilla glue fems from canuk seeds (backup buy, getting seeds this year was a shitshow from 3 different sites, I've got friends with indoor clones ready to take their place if need be at any time, but I want the really get that vigorous seed growth. I also have a Mint Chocolate Chip from In Good Health dispensary in brockton, was a bagseed I found last year, started it in Feb and just been vegging until last week, did slow taper and matching of the sun rise / sunset and havent any any issues with transplanting these outside. I also have a "Cornbread" bag seed same thing started veg in late feb just keeping it small and topping those two. The cornbread was bag seed from the dispensary I forget the name but the one in Wareham MA. I also have 2 white widow regulars and an og kush fem both from canuk seeds, the WW were freebies, and OG was a 5 pack, was the only one to make it past the cup of water. The single OG kush was a triploid I think its called, 3 sets of cotyledon and branches per node. I didnt want to take a chance on wasting one of my 6 100gal pots because it was 1/3 the size of a gorilla glue seedling that sprouted on the same day, so Im running that in a 30 gallon tote bin, one of the WW in another 35 gal (i think they are) tote bins... and the 2nd WW is in a large plastic planter/pot Id say its probably at least 25-30 gal. Also a random bag seed that I transplanted back in march almost trying to kill it, and it fgot bleached out from the direct sun, stunted a couple weeks, had a bit of new growth and I pulled the bleached out leaves, and now its back in the swing and growth is back up the normal rate its about a foot off the ground of stem before the first node starts because I pulled off the old growth, I was thinking of turning it into a hemp walking stick or something. Or just flower it out while the rest finish out the season.
I believe my house is at 11 of 12 limit... if my count was right, The way I understand it once those start flowering I can only have the 6? In that case I may just give the others to my neighbor, but I know theres 6 for my own limit, which are the 6 100 gals... the others im helping a house member grow theirs which are the others... Does anyone know for sure and heard from any authority figures or lawyers in mass on this? Thanks... Ill try to get out there with someones camera to take some updated pictures of the actual plants in pot. Ive also started on building the fence around it which you cannot see in this picture, and I have a 40'x14ish' PVC hoop house behind where this picture was shot, But depending on the height these reach and how much sun Il get back here this year, I may or may not use it for the late season rain/humidity.

I should mention I grow all organic, my soil right now is about just under 2 cu. yd. screened compost, then amended with about 40 cu ft. perlite, some vermiculite, a few bricks of coco coir, kelp meal, blood meal, fish bone meal, worm castings (70+ pounds... been farming worms for years) azomite, mycorrhizal fungi, bat seabird guano, crab meal, seaweed extract, quite a bit more I forget right now, but mixed and cooked soil off, solarized under tarp about 7 months, turning every couple weeks or so for fresh oxygen, and I would add in AACT and worm teas to that, Then added that to the pots and let those sit another month or so with the mycos working, then covered with straw while I made the inner cages from the welded wire and waited for the weather and light to change, Plants would've had a much better start if 3 different seed orders hadnt been fucked up, 1 seized, 1 full of duds, 1 ordered months ago and still havent arrived... All 3 were late by at least 1 month due to covid... seeds were a nightmare this year ordering online... Hope it was worth it, dont think Ill ever use the same seed banks or even breeders on that dud order again.
